Karl-Friedrich Lentze's dream has died. Lentze is a German
artist who decided to start a business, specifically, a brothel.
Even more specifically, a brothel for dogs. This could have been
the start of a new era for animal sexual liberation, but the Berlin
city council has denied Lentze's application for a business permit.
The council has decreed that dog sex is for the purpose of
reproduction only, and encouraging recreational sex would just make
the animals harder to manage.
